Shiney_McShine Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 No major injuries either. I'd rather see the Falcons keep playing and ride this momentum as far as they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossFALCON™ Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 i think it came at a pretty good time. roddy and laurent can get healthy and we have extra time to get ready for philly. not to mention turner has had like 50 carries over the last 2 games i think. he probably needs the rest. our team is sore, but not really banged up. this week could get us back to close to 100%.we go @ philly then, @ OAK. we should win at least one of those games. then 5 of our next 8 are at home.

SetzerFalcon Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I thought about this as well, but I figured it's not like there's anything Atlanta can do about it and the alternative would have meant going into the bye with a loss. Given the people running the show and the heart with which this team has played I have a hard time believing they'll lose focus next week.

{=Mojo-Risin=} Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Perfect time for it!Coming off of these last 2 victories will give this team a LOT of hope over the week. They now know they can beat supposed good teams.Plus, now some of our dinged up players can fully recover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconWong88 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I know the usual explanations and they are all good and stuff.But here's my take on this.Yes we do have momentum but we get everyone healthy and ready for the Eagles.The coaches will definitely take advantage of the bye week by doing the right precautions.I have confidence in our coaches and their execution of effectively using time off.

miKevicK777 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I think the timing is fine.One I think its a good thing to go into the bye with a win. It just helps with everyones confidence.Two we have a tough match up against eagles. They are a potent offense and a deceptive defense. It's beneficial to have extra time to prepare for a good team rather than a bad team.The extra week will give foxworth more time to practice so he can contribute against a pass happy offense. It'll give time for Laurent to get healthy and prepare against eagle's talented secondary. Defeinitley give the O line to study all of eagle's blitzes.I hate bye week just because i cant watch the falcons play, but whatever, lets get it over with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{=Mojo-Risin=} Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Don't forget this gives Ryan extra time to watch film on the Eagles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Duke 6 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Perfect time for it!Coming off of these last 2 victories will give this team a LOT of hope over the week. They now know they can beat supposed good teams.Plus, now some of our dinged up players can fully recover.Typically you want it as late as you can get it (week 8) but I agree.After 2 big wins its nice to have quality time instead of your back to a wall.

Norwood all the way! Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 ill say that with our momentum, a part of me wants to keep going with it. but this bye week we can get healthy with roddy if hes still feeling the affects from lawyer, Baker if hes still feeling sick and Laurent.

doubletrouble21 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 roddy if hes still feeling the affects from lawyerChrist, please let Roddy wear a red jersey during practice. (deemed not to be hit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidx Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Yeh, i have to believe that this is a great time for a Bye. Go in 2 games over .500 tied for NFC South lead, get some hardcore study time in for Philly and prepare for a tough road trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconsfan567 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I think it's great timing. It gives us 2 weeks to get ready for Philly and we are gonna need it. For everything we did right today we still had trouble getting touchdowns. We can't afford to do that and expect to beat teams like Philly.

beernuts Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I agree - wish it was in week 10 at the moment - huge momentum at the moment and would rather keep goingbut I also trust Smith to get us out of the bye healthy and ready to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vent King Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 No, this came at the perfect time. Its going to take me two weeks to get over this one. Unbelievable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelgee Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Don't forget this gives Ryan extra time to watch film on the Eagles. Matt can get a fresh shipment of ice too!This is a cool cuctomer for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
